It's Dame Helen. Until they make it to the House of Lords.......eg Sir Alan (Sugar) became Lord Sugar.
It's always a mistake for me to try and pretend I know what I'm talking about.

To create fear? Makes it easier to rule. Who doesn't behave "conformly" - however it is defined at the time - will be removed/punished.Other than making the general population accustomed to/afraid of having their agency removed by the state, I can't understand why a system would want to bear the cost and burden of sectioning people in large numbers. Is it simply the private prison model?
Or not to examine - at the moment you still have to agree to being examined. If you say nothing a diagnosis cannot be made.I wonder whether Sir Simon will decide whether it is necessary or advisable for a psychiatrist to examine a patient before writing a report which might lead to enforced detention.
Reminds me of what Karina Hansens dad said (in Unrest) that he didn't dare kick up a fuss about them taking his daughter as they would then say 'you see we were right he is a very angry man' and possibly lock him up as well. It's a no win situation and very wrong.and if you don't you'll also be taken, e.g. due to un-cooperative behavior
If you talk to the psychiatrist you'll be taken due to a "psychological disorder", and if you don't you'll also be taken, e.g. due to un-cooperative behavior.

I hope more people would have the courage to understand that and call for action and not dismiss the on-goings as "conspiracy theory" or "it won't affect me, so why should I care", and then go on as always.This needs to be addressed by all people, healthy or ill, as it affects all of us. Our innate agency over the sovereign territory of our bodies and minds is at risk--and this is not crazy conspiracy talk, it is happening as we speak, and is very worrying.
I have already contacted another well-known lawyer, but he doesn't have the ressources.The verdict of the district court Nuremberg-Fuerth of 8 August 2006 was a wrong judgment. The arrangement of the accommodation by the district court Nürnberg-Fürth was and is a shame of the judiciary in Germany, not only in Bavaria. However, this does not only apply only to criminal law, but also to forensic psychiatry, which, with an omnipotent world view, registers every impulse of otherness as "conspicuousness" and is ready to give any whisper of clinical pictures to the ears of prejudiced judges. "Psychiatry - the dark place of law" - that is the apt title of a comment by Heribert Prantl. [...]

So we already have the witch-wood-test...There are already terms for these things, like "oppositional defiance disorder" etc
We had a brief experiment with trying to create an age of reason. It failed. Right now things appear to be going backwards, though we have entirely new myths, based not on gods but on ideologies. Psychogenic psychiatry, even when disguised by bipsers, is a throwback to older times. One of those is the Inquistion, as typified by the Hammer of Witches.Maybe, indeed, our time will go into history as "modern middle ages" and they will speak about psychiatry like about the Inquisition.
I have a blog that discusses this in the context of psychogenic diagnoses, on PR -So we already have the witch-wood-test...
Demarcation dispute. That is my job.It's always a mistake for me to try and pretend I know what I'm talking about.![]()

Always seemed to me that psychiatry is built upon the assumption that the psychiatrist has a grand sweeping insight into and understanding of the entire human experience and condition, into reality, that no other profession or group of humans has.We had a brief experiment with trying to create an age of reason.

There is a path through BPS that is scientific, but while allusions are made to this they rarely go there.
I have just found that "chronic querolous personality" is an official psychiatric diagnosis. Well, if it wasn't clear before what's going on...

I have also found today that a German law that makes "hospitalization" into psychiatry possible goes back to Nov 1933. (In fact, there are still many laws today that go back to Nazi Germany.)Fair cop, gov. I'll come quietly.
